Rare Case of Early Mycotic Ascending Aortic Aneurysm Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

ABSTRACT: Prosthetic valve endocarditis, though a rare complication, carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Mycotic aneurysms are even less common and have been reported in association with femoral access (femoral artery aneurysms) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We describe a rare case of a mycotic aneurysm that developed in the ascending aorta after a TAVR procedure.
